2v2 A Bridge Too Far (beta test).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c85hd5hu9vhqx ... 3.zip?dl=0

Note that this scenario uses my MicroMod with additional factions and better distribution of commanders and specialisations.


A complete rework of older Market Garden scenario(s).
Brand new Map expanded in all directions (120x120 hexes) with more proper terrain.
Better OOB for all sides.
Primary objectives have VPs (similar to official 2v2 Fork). Basically the two German players need to hold Arnhem and one more objective, the British and US player needs Arnhem and 2 more objectives.
Resources based on dynamic occupation of secondary objectives. Resources are won or lost.

I have created a challenge with me as the British.

Would love to see an update to 1v1 at some point.

Need to find a way to stop AdmiralYamamoto from relaunching air divisions in operations that took months in.planning but seconds in OOB

Shouldn't be too hard. But I'd like to find any issues etc in the 2v2 first. It is easier to fix mistakes just once

There are no deductions of resources when you lose a silver flag objective.

The para divisions have a new resource mechanism:
Each division/faction has a number of C47 Skytrains that deliver 20 resources when parked over a friendly held DZ/LZ.

Link to the scenario, you can extract this in the MicroMod/Scenarios folder, replacing the old scenario.

If you guys think this warrants a restart, I'm game...

Wow I love the use of C47s to provide supply...should add a whole new dimension to German use of AA (and Allied AA suppression)

Don't mind.

As I told some of you guys in a PM, the beta 9.3.6 update trashed the modded scenarios started under 9.3.5.
So I think they both need a restart (Prokhorovka & Bridge too far)

I've updated mine so it's certainly trashed now

Re the delightfully detailed map, am wondering if anyone else is struggling to identify the Victory locations and to a lesser extent the paved road that was XXX Corp's primary route of advance (via Eindhoven/Son/Veghel/Nijmegen) I def found it easy to find navigate on the old map which had fewer towns and seemingly more clear terrain, though this may have been a function of the 392 hours I spent looking at it.

Almost every village/town is named so it might be a bit confusing. But there are only a couple of primary roads between the initial British position and Nijmegen.
The large number of silver flag objectives are adding resources 'only'. I have added map markers for these in the next version.
The main issue now is that 9.3.6 does not load modded units properly on turn-2 (the Jap tank syndrome).
We should resign the current game and try a fresh restart using the official 9.2.5 and the 'old' mp-server.

I'll create a new challenge in 9.2.5.

You should be able to unzip the updated scenario in the current MicroMod Scenarios folder.

I like all the additional villages/town I think it is just all the additional names that make it a bit harder to decipher.

Have downloaded new version and standing by to join.

I am Dutch but I was confused by all the names. Will check them one of these days and see how correct they appear to me.

Note that parts of the map is Belgian and German as well.

As for location names, I wish these were displayed on-map wether there is a flag present or not. It could reduce the number of flags to real objectives and thus make for a cleaner map. The player can always turn of location names in the options.

FYI I was in Holland five years ago for the 75th anniversary of M-G. Between the WWII stuff (met a British paratrooper), museums (I am a Vermeer junkie), food, and amazingly hot women (at least in Amsterdam) it was the best vacation of my life!

So I should resign from the game, only Netballman and me are left. I had invisible units on the map with their trains all parked somewhere close to the left edge of the map in the fields. Also an invisible boat

I've resigned .

I've seen those before... the unassailable commie kayak commandoes of the forests of Korea!

OK, here's what I propose.
1) Everybody download the latest MicroMod (4.15) and we try another restart using beta 9.3.6.
If this still not work:
2) Start a new game in standard 9.3.5.

YES!!! I got a Major Victory! My deception worked...
